The specialist component covers the occupational specialist knowledge and skills required to demonstrate threshold competence.

The Occupational Specialist content is separated into four Performance Outcomes, with the skills needed to achieve threshold competence and the knowledge to underpin skill application across the following areas:

• Measure the built environment
• Analyse the built environment
• Design the built environment
• Verify delivery of the built environment

The Three Assessments in the Core Component of the T Level Technical Qualification in Construction: Design, Surveying and Planning are:

• Examination Paper 1: Science and Building Technology
• Examination Paper 2: Construction Industry and Sustainability
• Employer Set Project.

Each Occupational Specialism will be assessed by a skills-related project that synoptically assesses the performance outcome skills and associated underpinning knowledge.
